With Cinco de Mayo around the corner on May 5, I've been thinking about Tequila...

I wanted to come up with a refreshing new Mexican-inspired cocktail, that was more than just another spin on a Margarita. Enter "Kick my Ass". An adaptation of the classic Moscow Mule using tequila instead of vodka, and ginger syrup instead of ginger beer. Plus, the addition of Tabasco for some kick!

Ingredients

Makes 1 Serve

1 oz tequila

1 oz ginger syrup

1 oz soda water

1 oz fresh lime juice

1 dash tabasco

Method

Pour all the ingredients over ice and stir. Enjoy the fiesta!

Notes

If you don't have ginger syrup, you can substitute both the ginger syrup and soda water with 2 oz of ginger beer.

This cocktail multiplies easily and would work great in a pitcher for serving a group at a party.
